Posted on Monday, February 04 2019 @ 10:47 CET by Thomas De MaesschalckBannermen is set in a medieval world with fantasy elements. It's inspired by classics like Command & Conquer and the Age of Empire series. Not a whole lot of in-game footage, with exception of the one-year old video below, but it looks like it's worth a try.
The news has also been released onto the official Bannermen Steam page listing, developer Pathos Interactive states; "We are happy to announce that a free Bannermen beta will be held on Steam, starting Friday February 8 and ending Sunday February 10!". If you are unsure sure of what Bannermen is and you are a fan of Age of Empires-like games then I'd recommend you give this title some time of day. Pathos Interactive explains in the later half of the video that Bannermen players will be able to manipulate the environment to your advantage through the use of holy spots on the map. Players will be required to occupy these spots to be able to control dynamic weather properties.The official launch is scheduled for February 22, 2019
Bannermen will also feature online and single player gameplay, players that jump into the single player experience will begin their journey at the aftermath of a defeat in battle. The is goal is to travel about the world you will be immersed in gathering followers and essentially increasing your army of loyal 'Bannermen' and status as a lord. Multiplayer wise, players will be able to enjoy "full support with dedicated servers - with unranked ladder, ranked ladder and custom games and that can be played with just your friends". Online multplayer will have the option of having large 8 player battles as well.
